Scientists led by Javier Santos, a professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Barcelona said in the journal <em>Food Chemistry</em> that higher concentrations of furans are found in espresso (43a[euro]146 nanograms per mililitre) than in coffee made in drip coffee makers, with normal coffee getting higher readings (20a[euro]78 ng/ml) than decaffeinated coffee (14a[euro]65 ng/ml).

The agreement resolves an EPA administrative complaint filed last September alleging that, among other things, Spectro emitted excessive amounts of hazardous dioxins, furans and hydrochloric acid from its furnaces and scrap dryers.

Comparison of lipid-adjusted dioxins and furans in oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from this study with those collected from seafood markets and grocery stores in southern Mississippi in 1997 shows dioxin and furan contamination about 1.

This WTC dust exhibits a unique profile and contains numerous hazardous materials, including, among others, asbestos, lead, mercury, other heavy metals, PCBs and furans, and many of these contaminants are found widely dispersed inside 130 Liberty Street at levels up to thousands of times greater than would be expected in a New York City Class A office building.
